Well, Why Not?

It’s the baseball offseason, and that means for me, a lack of interesting topics on which to opine.

Nick Swisher got traded to the Chicago White Sox yesterday. In return, the Oakland Athletics got a few good prospects (Ryan Sweeney, Gio Gonzalez, and Fautino De Los Santos) that should help speed along their rebuilding process. And the A’s have a few Swisher-types already (Dan Johnson, Travis Buck, Daric Barton), so he was expendable, albeit relatively cheap in his prime years.

I’ve got a couple ideas floating in my head for an article on Babe Ruth, but I want to research it well, so it might be a bit until that hits the Internets.
I’ve also signed up to assist Nick Underhill of I’m Writing Sports with a new project he’s working on. To what extent I’ll be needed, I don’t know, but he’s a solid guy and I’m glad to help (though I hope it’s not helping him in the sense that he’ll look better hanging with uglier people).
